1970 Dodge Challenger factory 340 car

Heres a chance to buy a nice 1970 Challenger
best we can tell is original paint (Hemi Orange) with the black
trunk stripe. True 340 car. I was driving this car to local shows
and events for the last few yrs but recently its not been running as
well as it use to. Could be fuel pump or clogged fuel line in the tank
Could even be a fuel pump or points in the distributer.
Honestly when it became hard to start, I just parked it in the garage
and started driving some other cars.
Carb may need to be rebuilt too, but I did notice the fuel filter is not
filling up with gas either. I may put some fresh gas in it tomorrow and
see if it starts. 

I dont have to sit here and tell you how rare these cars have become.
I wont end the auction early for anyone. If it sells, then it was meant to
be, but if not, It will sit in the garage for a while till I can find time to
work on it again this Fall.

When it was out on the road, it ran well, plenty of power like it should be
and no weird noises or smoke. Ive always added Seafoam to the tank when
it sat for more then a month or so the gas in the tank should be fine. I usually
only keep 1/4 tank or less.


OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT a restored car but its a true survivor with some cool
options. Fender tag in place, Clear TX title in hand.


OUR 100% feedback speaks for itself 
and many of our feedback are from about 15 cars we sold just this past
year here on EBay. We put more time and effort into our ads making it much
easier for the potential buyers to bid with confidence.
The cars only been in Texas and Tucson , so the rust is minimal and what is 
there is mainly in the trunk pan. Rest of the car is super Solid.

DRIVETRAIN: this is a factory 340 car w/ a 727 automatics trans
which is on the column of all places, very rare. Built for 
fun and speed, no PS or AC but still a fun car to take out when
on evening cruises. Brakes work fine and all the lights work .
Tires are prob 8 yrs old, but the car sat alot more in the last 20
yrs then Id prefer it to. Mileage on the odometer could be original
but not saying for sure it is or not. Factory rearend out back.


INTERIOR: Black , best color I think
this car has a really rare front bench seat option
and obviously needs a some restoration, but looks complete
and all the main stuff there. Seats, dash, glove box etc.
Floors are very solid and its a very rust free car. Az has been 
hard on the vinyl, plastic and rubber, but most restorers can
do a full interior on a car like this in a weekend.
Think the radio still works too.

EXTERIOR: body for the most part, really straight. The previous
owner thought it would be a good idea to spray paint flat black
paint around various parts of the body which is why it has areas
of black on the original paint. Maybe just wetsand it off and keep
rest of the Hemi Orange intact for some cool patina.
The car did get some rust around the back window frame which
isnt horrible, but it will need to be fixed eventually. The Az climate
has keep it from getting much worse like an eastcoast humid area.
Chrome and stainless still in pretty nice shape and all original too.
Saw little to no pitting on any of it.
Still has the factory bumble or hockey stripe across the trunk
whatever they referred to it back then.


SUSPENSION: basically all stock and original 
 It will eventually need to be restored too of course. Still feels
tight going down the road, but Im sure a new set of shocks
are in its future.

This car is your typical rust free Arizona car but it is
a car that needs some rust repair and still better then one sitting
near the coast or in the rust belt. Az cars are the ones 
everybody wants and its for obvious reasons.
Less cost in the restoration and you have bragging rights to saying
90% of my sheetmetal on my car.... is the way it came from the
factory. 

It may take a full minute for them all to load if you have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.

Chrysler Recalling 700k Vehicles For Ignition Switch Woes

Tue, Jul 1 2014

General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey. According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags. There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date." To fix the problem, Chrysler will install a new detent ring in the vehicles. It will begin contacting owners soon, and obviously the repair will be free of charge. This isn't the first time this problem has cropped up in these models. Chrysler issued a recall for 248,437 vehicles in 2011 for certain 2010 model year examples. A few weeks ago, NHTSA also began investigating the 2008-2010 model years of the affected models for ignition switch problems. At this time, it's not clear whether that evaluation and this campaign are linked. Chrysler told Autoblog that it has no reports of injuries related to the problem. Scroll down to read the company's statement and the NHTSA recall report. Statement: Expansion of Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) safety recall July 1, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Out of an abundance of caution, Chrysler Group is expanding a previous safety recall to install a more robust WIN module detent ring. A previous recall in 2010 included 196,000 Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Dodge Journey vehicles built August 2, 2009 through June 17, 2010. The expansion includes an additional 695,957 vehicles manufactured January 29, 2007 through August 1, 2009.

Top torque-to-weight ratios under $100k, $50k and $25k

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force represents the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer. Good stuff.
It follows then, that as with the horsepower-to-weight list that we assembled for you a few months ago, a list of cars that offer the most pound-feet with the fewest pounds to carry, is an interesting one to break down. Sure, there's a big difference in how the torque is applied from a turbocharged six-cylinder in a Swedish luxury sedan and a massive heavy-duty truck's turbo-diesel. But being the car/stat geeks that we are, we think it's kinda neat that those two vehicles rank near each other where torque and weight intersect.
As with the horsepower list, we've given you figures as pounds per every one pound-foot. Again broken down into broad price categories, we've got a mixed bag of 2014 and 2015 models here, too. Every effort has been made to select the most up-to-date prices and specs, and we've also to omitted some '14 cars that won't be re-upped after the ongoing yearly changeover.
